idap error when opening package in indesign

We are training for designers in a publisher, and am encountering a persistent error: we package the file to incopy (icap), edit the file in inCopy and return it to inDesign (idap).

Each one on your computer, in this exact order.

When returning in inDesign and clicking on "open package" the error "The story" appears xxxx.icml "in the package is no longer part of the assignment." The history was not updated. How do I want to continue?

After this error it is necessary to overwrite each of the icmls files one by one (inconvenient).

The problem does not happen on my computer: but it happens on some users computers (students of my incompany training).

What could be happening? Why only happens on some computers?

@AnneMarie Concepcion help me!!!!

I’m not AM but my advice is to abandon this workflow.

Using shared Dropbox or Onedrive folders is far easier and leaves less room for problems.

I am having the same issue and we used Dropbox to send the ICAP files... did you ever get this problem resolved? I am seeing there might be a plug-in that's needed?

Stop using packages. Just sync everyone to that dropbox folder and work in that.
